This fireball was very close. I could see it tumbling. It looked like it was breaking up with smaller pieces traveling along beside it. I would be surprised it part of it didn't hit the earth.

When the main fireball went across the sky, it did not leave a smooth trail. The fireball looked like it was tumbling and fragments were following along with it.
